That thing is rich soo much tq too!!!

 

Awesome vivid! Now seriously, yank exhaust off and see what it does!

 

nice numbers, i'm liking the torque. What i'm not liking is the price tag. 40 G's for a non MR?? Geez, thats almost 10G's more than a 2003 EVO VIII brand new and about 8 G's more than a brand new non MR IX!! Think I'll wait for them to work out the bugs this year, and then maybe picking up a 09(Ralliart though).

 

03 evo had 0 options, no SSS/ssl package, no nav etc
so 28K vs a no option X 32K is a 4K difference

a new IX with SSL was ~34K MSRP and no nav option, so a X SSS and IX SSL are within 1K of eachother.

MSRP IX no options is 31900 MSRP of the x no options is 32900.

a whopping 1K difference...now figure the X has AYC, bigger brakes, wider tires, better interior etc AND take into account that the US dollar is pretty much worthless right now...the X is a hell of a deal

 

Was that 232 HP and 256 lb/ft of torque I saw on that graph?

 

230 whp, wow... thats pretty unremarkable.

Scorke

 

the numbers are not bad at all considering the rich AFRs.

Perhaps by using ole skool tuning method (S-AFC) and lean it out a bit, more hp/tq can be achieved.

 

Yea, but the 03 evo had HID's standard, to get them in the evo X is like part of a $2000 package. So to compare them you have to add $2000 to the MSRP of the Evo X. I do agree the US dollar isnt worth anything.

 

the 03 also didnt have a front lsd or the acd

 

This is true. I just think damn near 40G's is a little pricey thats all. But the MSRP isnt that bad. The options just really add up I guess. Think I'll pass on the EVO X, bring on the ralliart!!!

 

you can option out a $20K mini cooper to over $50K

 

REALLY? WOW, now that must be one impressive Mini. I fooled around and optioned out a 2008 BMW 135i to 39,495.00. Thats a impressive car right there.

 

wow...232awhp and 256 torque for 40g, my mom's SUV has more then that

 

whats your point? a lot of suv's are pushing more than 300hp these days, escalades, benzes, sequoias, fx's

 

Mustang dyno reads much lower than dynojet; these numbers are pretty good for stock.
